It was recently reported on Zimbio.com/TV that Derek's sister will visit Seattle Grace. Now it is not clear which sister will be visiting, however we do know it will be one of the two sisters that viewers are yet to meet. Kathleen; the psychiatrist, or the unnamed sister that has been referred to in previous scenes.
The role is being played by Neve Campbell who is most well known for her role on Party of Five. We have met Amelia (played by Caterina Scorsone) and Nancy (played by Embeth Davitz), so this will be one of Derek Shepherd's sisters' we have not been seen on Grey's Anatomy. It is highly likely given Derek's serious hand injury that it will be Kathleen, the psychiatrist that comes to visit, as Derek needs all the support he can get at the present moment.
Derek has also lost two people that were very close to him. Lexie who was his sister in law, and resident at work and Derek was close to her as a brother in law, mentor and co-worker. Derek also lost Mark who was like a brother to Derek. During their childhood Mark spent a lot of time with Derek's family because Mark's family were never around. Mark and Derek were best friends and brothers. Even Derek's mother gave Mark some motherly advice on her visit to Seattle Grace in Season 5.
So Dr Derek Shepherd has a lot to deal with. He may possibly never operate again; he has lost his sister in law and a man who was like his brother. So it stands to reason that he would need a lot of support and who better than his psychiatrist sister? This is looking like a very interesting storyline for Derek Shepherd and Patrick Dempsey, the actor who plays him, however I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.
Update: 21 October 2012; New broke last night that Private Practice has been cancelled. Could we see a Shepherd family reunion with Amelia visiting Derek too? Caterina Scorsone is a very talented actress, so it would be surprising if ABC and Shonda Rhimes choose not to negotiate a contract with her. She could be Seattle Grace's new bad-ass neuro-surgeon if Derek's hand really is out of commission. I guess we can speculate all day. What do you think about this idea? Have your say in the comments, or on Facebook or Twitter.
